    I loved every single word he said! All doctors should explain things like he did. Dr. Hawkins is the best!

    My mother just had rotator cuff surgery and I could not find any decent instructions on how to put the shoulder sling immobilizer on. We had to adjust it and it slid down so we took it off and started over. Your instructions on how to put this immobilizer on was very helpful as well as the instructions for the exercises. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. :)

    Thanks very much for your video Dr. Hawkins. I'm 4 weeks post-op for a major tear and am getting ready to begin some exercises in the next couple of weeks. Appreciate your simple breakdown and demonstration of what is to come.

    Excellent content, thoroughly but concisely presented. I'm just starting Week 4 of post-op, and it's daunting to be reminded of how long the recovery will require. There's no way around it, you have to go through it. SO wish it had been my left side, if it had to be either. Thanks for this video!

    You'd look at this guy and think he belongs in a retirement home. NO! He's so knowlegeable about physical therapy and does an excellent job of explaining such.

    Gave me insight on what I am in for after my surgery thanks. Early next year I have been told. Been on a wait list since 2012 so early 2015 it will be nice to have my tear fixed

    Great video. Thanks a bunch. These exercises do help fast recovery of minor rotator cuff tears, without surgery.

    This is a very good video and very useful.. I have just had a shoulder decompression with a rotator cuff repair and this video is very useful. Some of the exercises shown in here are on the little booklet the hospital gave me. The only thing that wasn't mentioned on the booklet is the "Timing" re: when to start exercising or how much. This video gives more info that I have had so far. So thank you.. :)

    It's not a "rotator cuff arthroscopy" that would give you a tendon damage but the damage that you did to your shoulder .I had my shoulder popped once and since than i noticed my biceps hanging down.i went to a specialist and he told me that my biceps tendon disconnected from the shoulder muscle and also my rotator cuff had severe damage all around we found out after dye contrast MRI .I just had my surgery done 07/26/13 today is the forth day after surgery and i hope to be back on my bike soon .

    thanks for the great info. I'm having repair on Thursday of my torn long head of biceps, supraspinatus, subscapularis and labrum. Dr. Bell said no movement for eight weeks for me.

    What kind of doctor should I see if I have bad shoulder pain to see if I have a tear or what? I know I have 2 herniated discs between c5-c7 but I been to 2 chiropractors and 1 md to no avail after even getting a cortizone shot and still in pain. Please help.

    I am now 7 weeks post surgery to repair a full thickness tear of the supraspinatus tendon to the right shoulder and the pain is still very prominent, have not had a full nights sleep since May 2nd, once this has healed and have full use I have to get the other shoulder done, not looking forward to that!

      Ian Hudson I'm getting my right shoulder done next week, then I also have to get the other one. I have a full tear and arthritis in my right shoulder.

    What a good video! You answered questions I didn't even know I had. Not only that, your presention was flawless. One complaint: you presumed 'spouse' in the house. Suppose instead a spouse who requires care herself - and no outside help? Add to that the reasonable guess that one cannot drive a car - legally or practically - with their arm in that elaborate sling. Nevertheless, excellent video.

    Dr Hawkins,I love your videos....
    Could a rotator cuff arthroscopy give you a biceps tendon damage like "Popeye muscle"?
    Regards

    6-12 months to heal? Is that for a full thickness tear?
    I'm scared to see what kind of tear I have....

    Looks like the sling hurts with so much movement to adjust it.

    With this rehab what if you get a tattoo on the shoulder you had surgery on what would happen (get it when doing strength excersise)
